Bees and Bags

It seems like a good day to catch up on showing off my bee blocks from the last couple of months in my two bees. The log cabins were for Emily who blogs at Strawberry Patch in the Modern Stitching Bee. Every time I make a log cabin block I want to drop everything and make log cabin quilts, it is still one of my favourite blocks.

I warn you, this pattern is so easy and the resulting bags are so lovely. I will be making a lot more.

I love those Anna Maria Horner feathers on linen and there is an Amy Butler print inside.

This last one used Aspen Forest (by Basic Grey) snowpeople with some Grunge aqua and was for the gift bag swap at my Modern Quilt Guild.

By the way, I registered for the Modern Quilt Guild's Nashville Sew Down in April, and I am very excited to be going - we get to go to Anna Maria Horner's house, seriously we do. And I will get to take a class from her, and some other amazing modern quilters too.

I will be shovelling more snow today, the storm has passed it seems, but not without leaving more snow last night. The snow, together with the return of the winter dark nights - we have sunset at 4:33 p.m. today - has made it clear that winter is here to stay. At least it is pretty.

Lovely bee blocks. I really need to get going on this month's. And very cool about Nashville(!) and the fabric bundle. Good for you!! RE: Jeni's bags - they are the greatest. I made one this weekend too. I especially love your feather one!

Leanne, love those bags (and am now on the hunt for some of that Aspen Forest snowman fabric!). And I had to laugh at your Downton Abbey downfall - I stopped just short of doing the same thing! At first I thought "ok, fine, love, love the series, but do I really need the fabric?!" and once Rita posted the entire array I fell like a rock - so gorgeous!

Great block. You scored on the fabric. I have made a number of those bags. They are addicting. I even taught my 10 year old grandson how to make them. He has already made two to keep his lego's in. I am not enjoying the fact that it is getting dark so early. Dark when I go to work and dark when I come home.

I've got to say, Jennies blocks are my favourite, I can imagine a really awesome quilt at the end. We shall be joining you in having snow very soon I think, a sky full of slush landed on my car as I was driving to work which was quite treacherous. Think you will get a lot lot more than us though ;)

Just watched the layer cake tutorial yesterday, as I get the FatQuaterShop newsletter, definitely want to try this pattern, even though I have been quilting for a very long time. Sometimes, making quilts should just be about the fun and not the duration of making a quilt. Ordering from the FQS on black friday and cyber monday can be a big money saver, tried it last year, after a friend found a treasure deal the year before. Would love to win this one!
